Multi-Functional Warheads Are Lethal Against a Large Target Set
Multi-Functional Warheads Are Lethal Against a Large Target Set
• Enhanced blast and fragmenting warheads have been successfully combined with shaped charges to service multiple target types with the same missile warhead, such as in Joint Common Missile. These are termed multi-purpose warheads.
• The next class of future missile systems can be further improved by adding RF effects to broaden the target set and enhance lethality
• The first step is to demonstrate additional effects without degrading existing capabilities

Conclusions and PlansConclusions and Plans
• Conductive Plasmas made from Deflagrating mixtures have significant destructive effects on masonry
• Significant Differences in Similar Mixes Allow the EM Designer a Robust set of Design Characteristics
• Temperature and Conductivity Effects will be further tested this Summer
